Now is the Time

If America shut down 53 unprovoked, avoidable and unnecessary wars enforcing illegal extraction, exploitation and extortion… these trillions could be invested in people, human resources, infrastructure and a healing planet.

These 15 departments are invested with operational Executive Authority. But The U. S. Department of Peace is conspicuously missing. Our primary objectives are peace, justice and freedom. The Departments of War, “Justice” and freedom have been working overtime. But the “Defense” industry is effectively the American Department of Proactive Aggression and 53 expanding wars. These wars of choice make securing peace impossible. Now is the time for Justice.

Charlie Parker – Now’s The Time

“The United States federal executive departments are the principal units of the executive branch of the federal government of the United States. They are analogous to ministries common in parliamentary or semi-presidential systems but they are led by a head of government who is also the head of state.”

Biden, a demonstrable war criminal without redemptive qualities… has chosen to export more terror, munitions and war than any nation on planet Earth. Unprovoked corporate-American wars of choice remain illegal.
But 53 expanding wars continue unabated.

“There is never time in the future in which we will work out our salvation.
The challenge is in the moment; the time is always now.”

~James Baldwin

War is the problem, Peace is the cure. And Now is the time.

Support

The Peace Alliance[9] ( https://peacealliance.org/ ) and the Student Peace Alliance[10] organizations support the creation of a U.S. Department of Peace. Both are national nonprofit organizations and independent grassroots political movements that operate autonomously. The ongoing movement is supported by several members of Congress, the late former CBS Evening News anchor Walter Cronkite and author Marianne Williamson. Also joining the increasing list of national endorsements are Yoko Ono, Joaquin Phoenix, Frances Fisher and Willie Nelson. This movement actively lobbies for the endorsements of congressional leaders and is active in soliciting and receiving a growing list of bipartisan endorsements from city councils in California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Michigan, New Mexico and Ohio.[11] Local grassroots chapters have been formed in all 50 states.[12]

We must support revolutionary imperatives for peace, justice and freedom in France, America and everywhere this becomes necessary.

Timeless…

Nina Simone: The Time Is Now

Facts matter. The status quo is not acceptable. American police are killing thousands, instead of keeping the peace. And the American government, via the CIA, the Pentagon and an alphabet of agencies… exports terror, munitions, avoidable wars, chaos, deaths and destruction. This is not working.
